[Ngon Plugin] Can't get screw holes in a reciprocal structure

[Quan_Li]

I try to make cross joints and screw holes on a reciprocal timber structure using the Ngon plugin.

I made the joints and got the final result in mesh form.
But I can not get the Brep result with the screw holes(using the Tile_NN_Screw component).
It seems like I have got the right Elements and Cutters, but when I feed it into BrepBooleanDiff, the result is not there.

I try to follow the Ngon example files to solve this problem for almost 4 hours, but couldn’t. Please help! And If you know any tutorial or article on how to use Ngon to make joints, please share, Thank you!

@Petras_Vestartas Hi, Would you like to help me with this one? Thanks!

[Petras_Vestartas]

Wihout using brep boolean. Did you try to cut joint using typical brep boolean difference?
That component does the same just in a parallel thread.

Try to do it for one beam. This week is super busy for me. I could find more time maybe next one;)

Thank you! I solved the problem following your advice.

For whom has the same issue, see the GH below.

HI @Quan_Li, I opened your script but faced an issue with the BrepBooleanDiff Component. Do you know why this is so? I am opening the file in R8. Or perhaps @Petras_Vestartas, you could advice on this.
